wedgeflex???is a wedge flex a good board to pump on? or should i use something different? i ask because i saw the video of James pumping on a wedgeflex.

it worked alright, but i felt like the bent up nose sapped a little energy, without adding much benefit, i.e., lowering the push platform. i also missed the nose width. but great, lively deck composition.

absolutely, do that - i'm nitpicking here about things that work optimally in a board, but a huge part of the game is getting the undercarriage dialed, so by all means get your trucks and wheels bushings angled risers etc, dialed. and the only thing to think about is that decks thickness may vary so make sure your hardware is long enough for some variance.
oh and in my rapid reponse (I was checking the site briefly while over in Boston this week) I didn't realize you were the same 'blake' from the ultraskate!!
